The future of high-resolution UV spectroscopy: Science with a UV Échelle spectrograph on the Habitable Worlds Observatory, or a dedicated mission
Annalisa De Cia, David Cont, Kevin Heng +39
High-resolution UV spectroscopy serves a diversity of science cases, from small bodies to planets, stars, and galaxies, but is currently limited to the Hubble Space Telescope and b…
Effects of temperature-dependent optical properties on the determination of interstellar dust masses
Lapo Fanciullo, Jonathan P. Marshall, Francisca Kemper +2
Accurate measurements of interstellar dust mass are key to answering several astrophysical questions. A common method of obtaining the mass is to fit the far-infrared thermal emiss…
JWST NIRCam and MIRI Reveal the Dust-Producing AGB Population of NGC 6822

Vincent Van Eylen, Richard Massey, Saeeda Awan +167
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will be NASA's flagship space telescope of the 2040s, designed to search for life on other planets and to transform broad areas of astrophysics.…
Systematic determination of dust properties for a sample of 133 spatially resolved debris discs
J. P. Marshall, S. Hengst, R. Young +6
Determination of the composition and size distribution of dust grains in debris discs is strongly dependent on constraining the underlying spatial distribution of that dust through…
{\sc ampere}: A tool to fit heterogeneous observations consistently
P. Scicluna, S. Zeegers, J. P. Marshall +5
As astronomy advances and data becomes more complex, models and inference also become more expensive and complex. In this paper we present {\sc ampere}, which aims to solve this pr…
The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey III: First data release of JCMT CO-line observations
S. H. J. Wallström, P. Scicluna, S. Srinivasan +37
Low- to intermediate-mass (0.88 M) evolved stars contribute significantly to the chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium in the local Universe, making accur…
Investigating silicate, carbon, and water in the diffuse interstellar medium: the first shots from WISCI
S. T. Zeegers, Jonathan P. Marshall, Karl D. Gordon +33
The dusty interstellar medium (ISM) of the Milky Way is distributed in a complex, cloudy structure. It is fundamental to the radiation balance within the Milky Way, provides a reac…
The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey (NESS) V: properties of volume-limited samples of Galactic evolved stars
I. McDonald, S. Srinivasan, P. Scicluna +23
We provide a meta-study of the statistical and individual properties of two volume-complete sets of evolved stars in the Solar Neighbourhood: (1) 852 stars from the Nearby Evolved…
The UK Submillimetre and Millimetre Astronomy Roadmap 2024
K. Pattle, P. S. Barry, A. W. Blain +31
In this Roadmap, we present a vision for the future of submillimetre and millimetre astronomy in the United Kingdom over the next decade and beyond. This Roadmap has been developed…
An impressionist view of V Hydrae. When MATISSE paints Asymmetric Giant Blobs
L. Planquart, C. Paladini, A. Jorissen +29
Our purpose is to study the effect of binary companions located within the first 10 stellar radii from the primary AGB star. In this work, we target the mass-losing carbon star V H…
Images of Betelgeuse with VLTI/MATISSE across the Great Dimming
J. Drevon, F. Millour, P. Cruzalèbes +31
From Nov. 2019 to May 2020, the red supergiant star Betelgeuse experienced an unprecedented drop of brightness in the visible domain called the great dimming event. Large atmospher…
Sudden extreme obscuration of a Sun-like main-sequence star: evolution of the circumstellar dust around ASASSN-21qj
Jonathan P. Marshall, Steve Ertel, Francisca Kemper +6
ASASSN-21qj is a distant Sun-like star that recently began an episode of deep dimming events after no prior recorded variability. Here we examine archival and newly obtained optica…
The porous envelope and circumstellar wind matter of the closest carbon star, CW Leonis
Hyosun Kim, Ho-Gyu Lee, Youichi Ohyama +5
Recent abrupt changes of CW Leonis may indicate that we are witnessing the moment that the central carbon star is evolving off the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) and entering into t…
The SN 2023ixf Progenitor in M101: II. Properties

`pgmuvi`: Quick and easy Gaussian Process Regression for multi-wavelength astronomical timeseries
P. Scicluna, S. Waterval, D. A. Vasquez-Torres +2
Time-domain observations are increasingly important in astronomy, and are often the only way to study certain objects. The volume of time-series data is increasing dramatically as…
